Enjoying a picturesque setting on an island in the St Lawrence River, Montreal is a beautiful city, both from the water and up close. Climb Mont Royal to appreciate the grandeur of the Notre-Dame Basilica and the city skyline, their manmade beauty rivalled only by the natural splendour of the Laurentian Mountains that stretch out endlessly, a rich bounty of emerald forests and azure lakes. Discover the winter sports of the Mont Tremblant resort and take a bicycle tour through the city’s street to explore the Old Port and Atwater Market, amongst other fascinating sights in this francophone city.
